  The Celebrations series is an easy-reading edition of Wayland's Festivals series. The full-colour illustrations remain the same, but text has been simplified, and can be used simultaneously with the original volume in mixed ability groups. This book describes the many colourful celebrations that form an essential part of the Hindu calender. It looks at various Hindu gods and goddesses and explains the myths and folk tales associated with them. It also describes how Hindu festivals and rituals vary in different regions of the Indian sub-continent and in different countries throughout the world.
